Method
 

  1. In a large Crock Pot, combine the beef, beef broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, cornstarch, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes (if using).
  2. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, until the beef is tender.

Notes

For optimal tenderness, be sure to cut the beef into 1-inch cubes. The combination of soy sauce, beef broth, brown sugar, and rice vinegar creates a balanced, flavorful sauce. Adding a touch of cornstarch helps to thicken the sauce and give it a luxurious texture. Introducing the broccoli during the last 30 minutes of cooking ensures it remains crisp and vibrant.
